GOP voters want Gingrich on ‘Dancing With the Stars’

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. — Republican primary voters think Rick Santorum is the most generous of heart and say Mitt Romney is the man they would trust to manage their financial portfolios, but it’s Newt Gingrich whom they want to see do the hustle on TV.

In a series of questions in the latest Washington Times/JZ Analytics poll, Republican primary voters nationwide were most intrigued by Mr. Gingrich, saying he is the one they most want to see appear on “Dancing With the Stars,” and that he is the one who most reminds them of a favorite relative.

But he also most reminds them of a bad teacher.

“This is a guy who rings bells and whistles,” said John Zogby, the pollster who conducted the survey. “Much more than Romney does. Romney is seen as cool, competent, managerial. But who’s the guy who kicks up dust? It’s going to be Gingrich and Paul, but mainly Gingrich.”

It really all plays to how seriously they take the presidency ...which is not much. No respect for it, or the country, or much of anything else.

I think they should put Mooschelle on ..... Mooschelle’s staff thinks when she’s dancing “She looked joyful, accessible, down-to-earth value added”. Wow, that was just dancing with kids ... imagine if she was dancing with MAX!!

I think it’s a wonderful place for him. Especially if it keeps Pelosi’s boy out of the WH.

Stupid questions. the question is: which one could (1) kick the current communist out of our White House, and (2) govern in a manner that makes a difference once we're rid of Obama?

I’ve often wondered that myself. PBS travel shows (as liberal as one can get) for instance will seemingly always find some way to cram a segment into their program of traditional local dance. People dancing, or gyrating, or whatever, and always when presenting their previews of upcoming programs show the dancing segments as though that’s what we the audience really want to see.

They, Liberals ARE a strange lot.

Yes, Max!! He verbally “smacks around” his partners & I think he is the only one who could handle an “angry black woman”! Of course, combat pay might sweeten the pot for him! :-)

Please, God; don’t let this happen. How embarrassing. (It’s not the GOP who wants that, it’s the dems — to humiliate one of our candidates.)

I don’t think this is serious...it’s just a way go gauge the public’s feeling about a candidate. Gingrich obviously comes off as likeable, interesting and fun, which is not a bad thing (particularly with everybody initially claiming that nobody liked him personally).

So I think this is a positive, all told.
